Curbside Textile Collection

Effective October,2018, Middletown started a new partnership with Simple Recycling to help residents recycle their clothing, shoes and accessories curbside.

Simple Recycling mailed pink plastic bags to residents. These bags can be used to place clothing and other textiles at the curb on your regular recycling day. Simple Recycling will come by during the day and collect all pink bags with textiles. This pertains to all residents in Middletown, whether you are serviced by the City Sanitation District or a private hauler. Simple Recycling cannot collect from residents who live in multifamily complexes.
